you know play by banging Olson has a new entry-level model in its expanding line of premium Bluetooth wireless headphones at $300 I wouldn't call the Biot play H for a bargain but it did surprise me with how good it sounded and I think it matches up well with the competition at this price point both in terms of design and performance for a full-size headphone it's fairly light weighing in at 8.3 2 ounces or 236 grams and is quite comfortable to wear the ear cuffs swivel and fold flat so the headphone sits comfortably around your neck when you're not wearing it on your ears however the headphone doesn't fold up or come with any sort of carrying case which is a bit of a disappointment considering the $300 price tag unlike the step-up Bo play 87 which features touch controls the h4s integrated 3 button remote is located on the right ear cup along with a microphone for making calls battery life is decent at 19 hours at moderate volume levels as I said I was impressed by the sound this is a dynamic headphone with a lot of energy in the base good detail and clarity for a bluetooth headphone anyway and natural mids I didn't notice a significant difference listening to it in Wired mode but the included cord plugged in this headphone is compatible with the Bo play app for Android iPhone and Apple watch the app allows you to personalize your listen experience with preset sound profiles and other sound tweaks as well as receive software updates over the air while it's missing some features such as active noise cancellation and that aforementioned carrying case the Bo plate h4 is nicely designed perform as well and fits comfortably it should be in the conversation if you're considering a full sized bluetooth headphone for around $300 I'm David karna for cnet.com thanks for watching
